What else can I help you with?
What are rocks called that formed from volcanic process?
Those would be igneous rocks. Extrusive igneous rocks.
What will determine if a rock becomes an igneous or metamorphic rock?
Geological processes form rocks. Igneous rocks are made from magmas. Metamorphic rocks are made by changing the physical environment of a previously existing rock.
What type of rocks weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks?
Igneous, metamorphic, and existing sedimentary rocks can weather and erode to form sedimentary rocks. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can break down into sediments through processes like weathering and erosion, which then may accumulate and lithify into sedimentary rocks. Existing sedimentary rocks can also be reworked and lithified to form new sedimentary rocks through processes like compaction and cementation.
What are igneous rocks that form over the surface?
Rhyolititcen rocks.
What do you call rocks that have been formed from the hot molten material within the earth's crust that has cooled and hardened?
Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of molten materials.
When molten rocks cools what rocks form?
igneous rocks
Where is the energy source found that drives the processes that form igneous rocks?
Mantle convection

The relationship among igneous... metamorphic... and sedimentary rocks and the processes that form them are shown by the WHAT?
The rock cycle.
Can metamorphic rocks can form from igneous but not from sedimentary rocks?
Metamorphic rocks can form from both igneous and sedimentary rocks

How does the volume of sedimentary rocks in Earth's crust compare with the volume of igneous rocks in the crust?
Sedimentary rocks make up about 75% of Earth's crust by volume, while igneous rocks make up about 15-20%. Sedimentary rocks form through processes like erosion, deposition, and cementation, while igneous rocks form from the cooling of molten magma.
What are igneous rocks that form on earth surface?
igneous rocks that form on earth's surface
